Definition of Alcohol

Alcohol An impalpable powder. The fluid essence or pure spirit obtained by distillation. Pure spirit of wine; pure or highly rectified spirit (called also ethyl alcohol); the spirituous or intoxicating element of fermented or distilled liquors, or more loosely a liquid containing it in considerable quantity. It is extracted by simple distillation from various vegetable juices and infusions of a saccharine nature, which have undergone vinous fermentation. A class of compounds analogous to vinic alcohol in constitution. Chemically speaking, they are hydroxides of certain organic radicals; as, the radical ethyl forms common or ethyl alcohol (C2H5.OH); methyl forms methyl alcohol (CH3.OH) or wood spirit; amyl forms amyl alcohol (C5H11.OH) or fusel oil, etc. Related Definitions: Alcohol, Also, Amyl, An, Analogous, And, Are, As, By, Called, Certain, Chemically, Class, Common, Considerable, Constitution, Containing, Distillation, Distilled, Element, Essence, Ethyl, Extracted, Fermentation, Fermented, Fluid, From, Fusel, Have, Highly, Impalpable, In, Intoxicating, Is, It, Liquid, Loosely, Methyl, More, Nature, Obtained, Of, Oh, Oil, Or, Organic, Powder, Pure, Quantity, Radical, Rectified, Saccharine, Simple, Speaking, Spirit, Spirituous, The, They, To, Undergone, Various, Vegetable, Vinic, Vinous, Which, Wine, Wood

Alcohol Quotations I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. Hunter S.

If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. P. J. O'Rourke My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. Winston Churchill I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. Winston Churchill
